In a debian-mirror, e.g. 

http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/os/Linux/distributions/debian/dists/Debian2.2r5/main/disks-i386/2.2.26-2001-06-14/images-1.20/

Perhaps I should have suggested this earlier, but I think it is easier
to install Debian 2.1 (slink) from floppies rather than 2.2 (potato),
since installing slink requires fewer floppies, less RAM etc.

I'd say 4 Mb for swap is too little. Can you make the larger disk hda,
then do it, and use hdb (8Mb) for swap. If that is not possible,
consider using a boot-floppy to load a kernel on hdb (In that case,
/boot does not need a dedicated partition), and use hda (8Mb) for swap.
